NOTES FROM THE PUBLISHER

Heyday is rolling along at full speed. Every day and in every way, we are working to strengthen the four pillars of our publishing program: Making History; Celebrating Indian Cultural Renewal; Honoring Nature; and Fighting Injustice. We have a fistful of titles this season that we believe will inspire and instruct, adding a measure of joy to readers everywhere:

Among the books that it is our privilege to bring to your attention is Ransoming Pagan Babies, a volume of the remarkable muckraking writings of the late Warren Hinckle, former editor of Ramparts magazine and longtime columnist for a number of Bay Area newspapers, including the San Francisco Chronicle. We are also drilling down deep into the shameful history of how California treated its Japanese American citizens during and after the Second World War, with the publication of Life after Manzanar, by Naomi Hirahara and Heather C. Lindquist, and the inspiring story of Rebel Lawyer: Wayne Collins and the Defense of Japanese American Rights by noted historian Charles Wollenberg.

We have a trio of titles that cast a powerful spotlight on conditions that continue to roil California and the nation: Our Dishonest President by the Los Angeles Times Editorial Board, which encourages people to oppose the brazen acts of a man patently unfit to remain in office; California Comeback: The Genius of Jerry Brown by Narda Zacchino, one of the most informed and experienced journalists of our time (and we are proud to say Heyday’s executive editor); and California Fights Back: The Golden State in the Age of Trump by Peter Schrag, former editor of the editorial pages and columnist for the Sacramento Bee.

On the cultural front, we are bringing out The Bakersfield Sound: How a Generation of Displaced Okies Revolutionized American Music by Robert E. Price, which Greil Marcus praises for Price’s “sense of history, his command of facts, his sense of honor, his sensitivity to class and race, and a love of music.”

And we are delighted to act as midwife to the birth of Birds of Berkeley by Oliver James and to the next installment of our California Indian board books, Coyote at the Big Time, by the gifted artist and storyteller Lyn Risling, which we are publishing in the 31st year of our journal, News from Native California.

Come join our reading circle!

San Francisco Cops Get Their ManA funny thing happened to me last night after I finished a column saying the chief of police should be fired. Two cops arrested me outside the Chronicle building and hauled me off to the clink.

“You Hinckle?” one of the cops asked me on the sidewalk. I allowed I was. It’s hard to hide if you’re fat and wear an eyepatch. “You got any warrants?” the cop asked. I said not that I know of. “They told me you got warrants,” the cop said. “You’ll have to wait here while I check the computer.”

The two cops were patrolling in front of the Old Mint Building directly across the street from the paper. Both sported mustaches and carried walkie-talkies. I said I was on my way to get a beer and I’d be right back while they checked. “You’re not going anywhere,” said the cop with the big-ger mustache, “You’re being detained. You stand right here.” The walkie-talkie squawked. “You got two warrants against you. You’ll have to come with us,” the cop said.

Five Battles of SelmaFilling out a marching form at Brown’s Chapel was 16-year-old Viola Jackson of Selma (no relation to the late Jimmy Lee Jackson.) Have you ever been arrested? NO. Have you ever been beaten? YES. Do you have any ailments that should be checked before the march? NO. She handed in the paper and went outside where the marchers were forming.

Shooting Craps in StyleYou couldn’t find the door right away. It was down an alley full of night sounds. The bell nested in a bed of splinters. The mailbox opened from inside. An eyeball stared out unblinking.

“Hello, Helll-ow.” The approved code was given. “All right. Allll-righhhht.” The eyeball beat the mailbox shut by a wink.

We were inside an auto body repair shop. The doorman wore a three-piece white linen suit and a four-in-hand. He skirted roped-off Cadillacs with their innards showing and led the way up a rough wooden ramp to a polished oak door. Inside was the Rue de la Pay.

The Ten Days That Shook San Francisco[A] detailed look at Dan White’s life shows an All-American Boy movie that worked only in freeze frame: in action, he was all walking contradictions. Inside the fearless competitor—the band played the theme from Rocky at his campaign rallies—was a bully, a man who used a street gang to hassle his political opponents, a man quick to threaten violence, a man who plotted revenge against his enemies, real or imagined, with the one-track mind of a vacuum cleaner salesman. [...] He left high school before graduation and went from the army to the police to the fire depart-ment to politics—always striving for an “A” in manhood, and always ending up with an “incom-plete.” The only thing he ever finished was the lives of George Moscone and Harvey Milk.

Ransoming Pagan BabiesThe Selected Writings of Warren Hinckle

Warren Hinckle

From his galvanizing exposés in Ramparts magazine to his hand in inventing gonzo, Warren Hinckle upended twentieth-century investigative reporting and gave it new provocation and zest. In the first career-spanning collec-tion of writings by this key figure of American journalism, Ransoming Pagan Babies contains an astonishing thematic sweep: Joseph Mitchell–esque portraits of old San Francisco and its characters; insightful reporting on conflicts in Selma, Northern Ireland, and Vietnam; forays into local politics; and piercing depictions of a Bay Area riven by inequality and assassination. Reading Hinckle drops the reader into the heart of history—and, just as importantly, it’s fun. Hinckle wrote about his subjects with bluster, tenacity, heart, and a desire for adventure and justice. This book is the first to capture his swashbuckling energy and expansive talent in a single volume.

WARREN J. HINCKLE III was born October 12, 1938, in San

Francisco. He was executive editor of Ramparts magazine from 1964

to 1969, and he cofounded Scanlan’s magazine in 1970. He later

served as editor for City of San Francisco, Frisco, and The Argonaut.

He wrote regularly for the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Francisco

Examiner, and the San Francisco Independent, and was the author of

numerous books, including If You Have a Lemon, Make Lemonade:

An Essential Memoir of a Lunatic Decade. He died in San Francisco on

August 25, 2016.

From the editor of the award-winning Children of Manzanar, Heather C. Lindquist, and Edgar Award winner Naomi Hirahara comes a nuanced account of the “Resettlement”: the relatively unexamined period when ordinary people of Japanese ancestry, having been unjustly imprisoned dur-ing World War II, were finally released from custody. Given twenty-five dollars and a one-way bus ticket to make a new life, some ventured east to Denver and Chicago to start over, while others returned to Southern California only to face discrimination and an alarming scarcity of housing and jobs. Hirahara and Lindquist weave new and archival oral histories into an engaging narrative that illuminates the lives of former internees in the postwar era, both in struggle and unlikely triumph. Readers will appreciate the painstaking efforts that rebuilding required, and will feel inspired by the activism that led to redress and restitution—and that built a community that even now speaks out against other racist agendas.

NAOMI HIRAHARA has written many books about Southern California Japanese American history, most recently Terminal Island: Lost Communities of Los Angeles Harbor, cowritten with Geraldine Knatz. She is also a mystery writer: her Edgar Award–winning Mas Arai Mystery Series features a Japanese American gardener, Hiroshima survivor, and sometimes sleuth. Hirahara lives in Pasadena.

The editor of Children of Manzanar, HEATHER C. LINDQUIST has developed interpretive exhibits for Manzanar National Historic Site and other National Park Service venues. She collaborates with her husband, Mark Lindquist, in their media production and exhibit planning company, Harvest Moon Studio. She lives in Los Angeles.

This charming, full-color field guide to 25 birds easily found in Berkeley proves that even the city’s avian residents are a little quirky. Meticulously detailed illustrations capture each bird’s distinctive physicality and temperament. A Burrowing Owl faces you in a full-on head shot, perhaps having just raised its raspy, chattering alarm call as you trespass on its last remaining Bay Area foothold at the Marina. The Anna’s Hummingbird gives you a coy backward glance to assess if you’ve properly admired its flashy throat feathers, maybe having just performed its signature J-shaped courtship dive. Even in composition, each bird is strikingly individual, whether depicted in mid-dive or creeping into frame. While descriptions of identification and vocalizations are straight-forward, author-illustrator Oliver James takes a delightfully creative approach to his write-ups of each species. He invites you to imagine that a Cooper’s Hawk, for example, is Steve McQueen in a ’68 Mustang, and you, “a pigeon in a rental car with a poor turning radius,” are fleeing through traffic: “It’s all over in a matter of seconds.” A joy to read and pore over, Birds of Berkeley will enchant readers far beyond the city limits with its findings gleaned from painstaking and patient wildlife observation.

OLIVER JAMES was born in Berkeley in 1991. He started watching birds in his backyard on Colusa Avenue at age five and never turned back. Since then he has competed in national birding tournaments, worked as a birding tour guide, and joined ornithological research teams from Peru to Alaska. He graduated from Berkeley High School in 2009 and Wesleyan University in 2014 with a degree in biology and environmental studies. James is also the author of A Field Guide to the Birds of Wesleyan (Wesleyan University Press, 2014).

The follow-up to Heyday’s best-selling A Is for Acorn takes young readers to a Native California Big Time, with Coyote as their guide. Counting from one clapperstick up to ten stars twinkling above the gathering, Coyote explores indig-enous cultural traditions, including songs, dances, hand games, art—and, of course, delicious food. Lyn Risling’s beautiful illustrations depict the diversity of traditions that continue to thrive throughout the state. At once a fun intro-duction to numbers and a celebration of community, this lively counting book shows babies and toddlers how to take in the beautiful world around them.

LYN RISLING is an artist whose work reflects the revival and continuation of cultural traditions and the natural world of her tribal peoples, the Karuk, Yurok, and Hupa. Involved in many aspects of her cultures, she was a recipient of the Community Spirit Award from First Peoples Fund for her artwork and commitment to her Native culture and community. Lyn has shown her work throughout California, and her art can be found in tribal cultural curricula, language materials, brochures, T-shirts, and posters.

Rebel LawyerWayne Collins and the Defense of Japanese American Rights

Charles Wollenberg

HARDCOVER978-1-59714-436-0 | $20.00ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES/LEGAL JUNE 20185.5 x 8, 160 pages E-book available: 978-1-59714-439-1

Fred Korematsu, Iva Toguri (alias Tokyo Rose), Japanese Peruvians, and five thousand Americans who renounced their citizenship under duress: Rebel Lawyer tells the story of four key cases pertaining to the World War II incarcera-tion of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry and the trial attorney who defended them. Wayne Collins made a somewhat unlikely hero. An Irish American lawyer with a volatile temper, Collins’s passionate commitment to the nation’s constitutional principles put him in opposition to not only the United States government but also groups that acquiesced to internment such as the national office of the ACLU and the leadership of the Japanese American Citi-zens League. Through careful research and legal analysis, Charles Wollenberg takes readers through each case, and offers readers an understanding of how Collins came to be the most effective defender of the rights and liberties of the West Coast’s Japanese and Japanese American population. Wollenberg portrays Collins not as a white knight but as a tough, sometimes difficult man whose battles gave people of Japanese descent the foundation on which to construct their own powerful campaigns for redress.

CHARLES WOLLENBERG, Chair of Social Sciences and Professor of History at Berkeley City College, is coeditor, with Marcia A. Eymann, of What’s Going On? California and the Vietnam Era (University of California Press, 2004) and author of Marinship at War: Shipbuilding and Social Change in Wartime Sausalito (Western Heritage, 1990) and Berkeley: A City in History (University of California Press, 2008).

In California’s Central Valley, two thousand miles away from country music’s hit machine, the hard edge of the Bakersfield Sound transformed American music in the latter half of the twentieth century. It turned displaced Oklahomans like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard into household names, and it aggressively pushed style, instrumentation, and attitude that countered the orchestral country pop churned out from Nashville. In this compelling book, Robert E. Price traces the Sound’s roots from the Dust Bowl and World War II migra-tions through the heyday of Owens, Haggard, and Hee Haw, and into the twenty-first century. Outlaw country demands good storytelling, and Price obliges: to fully understand the Sound and its musicians we dip into honky-tonks, dives, and radio stations playing the songs of sun-parched days spent on oil rigs and in cotton fields, the melodies of hardship and kinship, a soundtrack for dancing and brawling. In other words, The Bakersfield Sound immerses us in the unique cul-tural convergence that gave rise to a visceral and distinctly Californian country music.

ROBERT E. PRICE, the award-winning executive editor of the Bakersfield Californian, has written and spoken extensively about the Bakersfield Sound for more than twenty years.

California ComebackThe Genius of Jerry Brown

Narda Zacchino

PAPERBACK978-1-59714-450-6 | $18.00POLITICS/HISTORY | JANUARY 2018Originally published in hardcover by St. Martin’s Press

5.5 x 8.5, 336 pages

How did a so-called “failed state” manage to revitalize itself as a socioeconomic superpower in just five years? In California Comeback, award-winning journalist Narda Zac-chino credits four-term governor Edmund G. (Jerry) Brown and his progressive policies with the Golden State’s return from the brink of economic collapse. Although California has a reputation for left-leaning ideology, Brown’s first stint as governor in the 1970s and early ’80s ushered in an era of conservatism bulwarked by Proposition 13. California drifted stutteringly rightward, and when Brown took office again in 2011, the state was teetering under a $27 billion deficit. By raising taxes on the wealthy while imposing rigorous environmental protections and humane immigration poli-cies, Brown led California to adopt a different model, one in which fiscally sound government and social liberalism were status quo—and one in which California could outperform the rest of the nation. This book gives a resounding answer to the question of how a multicultural, democratic, and postindustrial society endures in the face of devastation.

NARDA ZACCHINO is a journalist, writer, and editor. After graduating from UCLA, she worked at the Los Angeles Times for over thirty years, eventually serving as vice president and associate editor for the publication. She has also been the deputy editor for the San Francisco Chronicle and served as a member of the Board of Directors for the International Women’s Media Foundation and Journalism and Women’s Symposium. Outside of journalism, Zacchino is the editor and author of numerous notable books, and the founder of independent publisher Time Capsule Press. She is currently Heyday’s executive editor and a senior fellow at the USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy, and continues to work as an independent writer and editor.

Veteran journalist Peter Schrag argues that California’s role in the era of Donald Trump is twofold: to act as a leader in the resistance to the current administration, and to be held up as an alternative to the course being pursued in Washington. Given the Democratic Party’s stronghold on all statewide elected offices and legislature, it isn’t surprising that California has become a beacon of progressivism. But this is hardly an inevitability. California was almost where much of the GOP wants to take the nation today, leading the country in tax revolt, passage of the Three Strikes criminal sentencing law, and virtual prohibition of bilingual education in public schools. Schrag points to the state’s shifting demographics and the ero-sion of the Republican Party in the wake of Proposition 187 as two major reasons behind California’s shift to the left. It is par-ticularly pertinent, then, that a state that formerly espoused these values now negotiates with other nations on climate control, asks its agents not to sweep courthouses in search of people to deport, and has approved major tax increases. California Fights Back gives proof that things can be better, and raises the possibility of this becoming the story of other states.

PETER SCHRAG is a journalist, a scholar of Californian politics and political history, and the author of numerous books. His publications include When Europe Was a Prison Camp: Father and Son Memoirs, 1940-41 (Indiana University Press, 2015), Final Test: The Battle for Adequacy in America’s Schools (The New Press, 2005) and Paradise Lost: California’s Experience, America’s Future (The New Press, 1998), which was a New York Times notable book. Schrag served as a columnist and page editor at the Sacramento Bee for nineteen years, and was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies from 2011 to 2013.

Weeks before Donald J. Trump reached his first hundred days in office, the Los Angeles Times’s Editorial Board published the first of six consecutive denunciations calling him “Our Dishonest President.” The paper’s condemnation of Trump’s lies, his authoritarian temperament, his war on journalism, and his obsession with conspiracies was as bold as it was unprecedented, as was its call to Californians to oppose the brazen acts of a man patently unfit to preside over the republic. It prompted a tremendous response: within days, the series garnered seven million page views.

Heyday is proud to present a paperback of the six editorials, brought up to date with an introduction by Davan Maharaj, the Times’s publisher and editor-in-chief, and by Nicholas Goldberg, the paper’s editor of the editorial pages. When read in sequence the arguments gain force and momentum, delivering a formidable and indispensable critique by one of America’s most important newspapers.
